SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July 7, 1887
After a sojourn Of two months in this, the
Queen City of the Ozarks," will write you
few items. We have population Of $4,000;
two trunk lines Of railroads and several
branches; 20 or Is churches, and various
schools. Drury College is large and commodi-
ousand one OF the finest schools in Southwest
Nissori. We have a fine system of free
schools, conducted on latest principles;
wholesale dry-goods, grocery and other
stores. This, but for one fact would soon be
one Of the best inland cities Of the West,
namely: The real estate brokers have nearly
Ill the lands for sale under their control and
ask such prices, no one is disposed to buy.
Actual settlers is what the city needs,
and less booming. With all this the city is
improving very fast. Fruits and vegetables
are abundant and cheap. Crops of all kinds
are splendid. Corn is cheap here, only ,35c
per pushel; the farmers report the crop in fine
condition. An immense amount of country
produce is shipped from here.
Times are not as dull here as in Tennessee.
\ large portion of this country is settled by
rennessean; | have met a great many Of
them since | came.
The 18th has come and gone; and was cee-
brated quite extensively by firing Of cannon,
fireworks, horse-racing and other ways; one
man was killed by the premature firing Of the
| cannon.

We are near the "Ball Knobbcrs" country;
several Of them are here confined in Jail,
